There were various of exciting activities and events specially lined up such as Japanese Drum Performance by Wakaido Syo, Japanese Yosokoi Soran Dance, Ninja Performance, Japanese cooking demonstration of 'Mochi', 'Kids Bento', 'Osechi', origamo workshop and kimono dress up experience and more.

The activities varied from day 1 to day 7. On media launching day, there was a origami workshop booth.

活动从第一天到第七天都不一样。在媒体推介的那一天，那里有一个折纸的工作坊摊子。

I learnt to make the paper blouse at the origami booth. The staffs told us that the youngsters makes the paper blouse to their parents for thanksgiving.

我在那认真的学习如何折纸衣服。工作人员告诉我们说日本的年轻人都会折这纸衣服送给父母答谢他们。

The 'Iwate Food Fair' introduced a diverse range of fresh and delectable food made in the Iwate prefecture, in hopes to drive more awareness for the Malaysian customers to get acquainted with Iwate products. Iwate prefecture, the second largest prefecture in Japan after Hokkaido, is located on the north-east of Japan's main island of Honshu. It is renowned for its high quality soil and favourable weather conditions that are suitable for agriculture, fishery and forestry.

That was the end of the event. Nothing much interesting. During the event, everyone was required to write their wishes on the origami given and then hung at the plum flower branches there. My wish is simple, hope everyone I know stay in good health. Yeah, I think health is far more important than everything else.

I blogged about my Langkawi trip not long ago exactly was 2 years back here. To enjoy the beautiful scenery along the journey, my friends and I decided to make a road trip to Langkawi by bus for my second time there. For those who never travel to Langkawi, mainland vehicles are not allowed to enter into Langkawi. Thus, we either chose to disembark at Kuala Kedah jetty or Kuala Perlis jetty to board the ferry to Langkawi Island.

Well, the whole bus journey could be a torture especially sitting long hours on a bus without a proper sleeping position. We took the bus at night in BTS KL bus terminal and estimated reach the place in the morning. The bus fare for one way is about RM 47+. The passengers who boarded the bus were not many as I expected and thought we could have free seating. But I was wrong, the worst part is the uncountable stops along the way. They disembarked passengers starting from Ipoh to Kangar, Alor Setar, Sungai Petani, Kulim, Jitra, Baling, Kuala Kedah and etc. Every…

Whenever I mentioned Muar to my friends, first impression they have is the place kinda "ulu" or only otak-otak. They said: "nothing much there! " I have been to Muar two years back (2016) when I attended my friend's wedding. Comparing to those times, I see some improvement in the tourism product, most obvious changes would be the Muarian favourite place: Tanjung Emas! This would be on my next post sharing perhaps!

I'm going to share with you guys a fun place which you could have a boat ride to the sea to enjoy the freshest mussels from kelong. This place is called Desa Keroma Eco Resort at Parit Keroma, Muar.

Everyone wore the life jacket before going down to the boat. The jetty was not completed when we visited, the resort manager said they were still using the villager's public used jetty to board the boat. The jetty was a bit run down. I could not get down without help.

There was about 10 of us in the boat. The sunlight was strong above us. But luckily…

There are few more days ahead before Chinese New Year! Have you shopped enough for this coming festive? It is too fast for me that CNY is coming soon. Nothing seems to change as the time flies except the fact that I'm still single...LOL Anyway, I just discovered another worth visiting shop in One City Skypark which you could find some lovely preloved items that you want to bring home. Jalan Jalan Japan is opened quite some time ago back to 2016 but this was truly my first visit to the store. As stated in their website, Jalan Jalan Japan has a good spread of preloved goods, all brought in from Bookoff Corporation Japan. Thus as the name suggested, you could find a lot of Japanese used goods here!

Some of the items I never ever see before like the two things I'm holding. Do you have any idea what are these and what they used for?

Goods at Jalan Jalan Japan are arriving at the rate of one container a week. It could be expected that there are some new stocks every week.

One of the Muar attraction for tourists is Tan Kok Leyong Nursery, the name always being spelt wrong by people. I never heard of this place until I been brought to here. In KL, whenever we wanna buy a beautiful bonsai or flowers, the first place came to our minds is Sg Buloh. Nevertheless, I have been told that in Muar alone, there are around 300 nurseries in the state. Most of the landscaped plants in Putrajaya and Cyberjaya were supplied by nurseries in Muar.

Pulau Rawa is on my travel list a long time ago. I even thought of organizing a trip to there with my fellow uni mates but none of them seem interested. When others asking where I been for vacation, I answered and said Pulau Rawa. Nevertheless, my friends and even most local unknown about this beautiful island. This is sad enough. I am not sure if there is less publicity for this place or other reasons around, but thanks God I have an opportunity to explore the island myself last 2 weeks ago.

To reach Pulau Rawa, we have to take the speed boat at the Mersing jetty. There are 5 routes to Pulau Rawa every day: 9am, 11am, 12pm, 2.30pm and 3pm.

Situated within the archipelago of the Sultan Iskandar Marine Park, Rawa Island is accessible by a thirty-minute boat ride from Mersing, Johor.

In Pulau Rawa, there are only 2 resorts i.e Rawa Island Resort and Alang's Rawa. Many years back, this island belongs to royal family but later sells to companies and becomes what is it today.

Apart from Silver Leaf Monkeys, fireflies and seafood, Kuala Selangor also famous with Ramadas Pottery.

Ramadas is the name of the owner. He born in 1951, been active in this industry since 1976. His expertise is imparted from his father in early year. In year 2012, he took over the business from his father and continue until today. Ramadas has been awarded as Adiguru Kraf Tembikar (Pottery Master Craftsman) in 2012 due to his achievement and expertise in pottery field.

His products include pots, incense burner, clay pots, decoration for house and worship statue.

He did a few demo for us during our visits and we were allowed to try it :)

It is a fun experience. The machine kept on spinning and we had to continue shaped it using our fingers. If we use too much force, the clay pot will be corrupted and we have to do it again.
